Thanks! It's a Shield Bug, one of the many varieties we have around here.

Looks like it's got enough body bits for at least a couple of ants' worth!

They are shooting at locusts with machine guns in Somalia now.

That one is not in my pillow book, and I'm just as glad.

I didn't have the right lens to capture one of these butterflies. They were too far off the approved walkway for the normal range zoom and also a bit too fluttery to approach more closely.

Weevil I was blessed to see in Addo Elephant National Park- Second time I've seen one this big, about the size of my thumb.

Here's the first one- way back in 2011

That is an impressive and fascinating beetle.

This one should go on the larvae & grubs thread, but because I'm here.
